THE PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A relatively psychologically active type of sleep when most of a person’s dreaming takes place; voluntary muscles are inhibited, making the person move very little.
A
Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep
B
Non-REM Sleep
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -REM sleep occurs after the brain passes through stages one, two, and three and typically occurs approximately every 90 minutes (McCarley et al., 1995). During REM sleep, brain activity increases, voluntary muscles are inhibited, and rapid eye movements and dreams occur (McCarley et al., 1995).

Detailed explanation-2: -Physiological Changes During NREM and REM Sleep. Dreaming is most often associated with REM sleep. Loss of muscle tone and reflexes likely serves an important function because it prevents an individual from “acting out” their dreams or nightmares while sleeping (see Chapter 3) (Bader et al., 2003).

Detailed explanation-3: -When an individual is in REM sleep, the voluntary muscles in the body become paralyzed, and the nervous activity of the brain intensifies in respect to the other stages of sleep, similarly to the brain activity while awake.
